Will,
Like Noah Seidenberg we always bring something. It does not have to be a present for the birthday person/ We bring flowers, wine, or whatever the spirit moves us to bring! A

I'll take one from someone else who brought one if the person truly doesn't want presents - that's what friends are for!

No, I wouldn't bring a birthday gift but I'd probably bring flowers for the Hostess.

No gift, though I would bring a card, and I would bring a Hostess Gift Will Hamm. I bring a Hostess Gift even if it's a potluck and I'm bringing a food dish.

Will,
If I knew of a favorite charity or cause I might make a donation and give them a card to let them know.

I would have imagined gifts were brought, no matter if they were asked not to.

I always bring something. If a party with no requested presents, wine or flowers come to mind. Enjoy your day!

There are many reasons such a request would be made.
One reason could be to make others who would be attending not feel like dirt.
So the request made is a request to honor/respect the person. A card is not a present. In such cases I will apply my alleged writing skills and create a message of meaning for the guest of honor. I do understand, this is a greater investment than grabbing a bottle out of the store cooler.
If you do not ask questions, you don't know the harm that could be caused.

Usually something drinkable or edible that is special, to share at the party or for them to enjoy later.

in those cases I take a bottle of wine, if all else fails I will drink it myself, lol.

Will Hamm - it says 'NO PRESENTS' so guests are not expected to bring the present.
Even if they bring, one can politely decline, I guess.
Of course, it's from someone very close....may be, I'll take it.

No. If they say no presents, I may invite them to a lunch or dinner sometime on me.

I always bring something..even if they say no presents..it's always in good taste to bring something to the hostess.

Yes... I was raised never to go to someone's home with empty hands. When my mother was alive she never would come to my home for dinner without bringing a little something, even if only a couple of roses for a bud vase.

I wouldn't. If I felt that I just HAD to give a present, I would do it at another time.
